Arch Reilly

Arch Reilly, born in 1891, was a professional baseball player whose career spanned a brief moment in the early 20th century. He made his Major League Baseball debut on June 1, 1917, during an era characterized by a transition in the game, moving away from the deadball style that had dominated the previous decade. Reilly played as a position player but had a limited impact on the field, appearing in just one game throughout his career. In that lone appearance, Reilly did not record any hits, runs batted in, or stolen bases, resulting in a batting average of 0.0. While his statistical contributions were minimal, his participation in the major leagues places him among the ranks of those who aspired to compete at the highest level of the sport during a transformative period in baseball history. Arch Reilly's brief tenure in the majors serves as a reminder of the countless players who have pursued their dreams in the sport, even if their careers did not become storied or celebrated.
